Fear And Faith Contrasted

The following are some contrasting thoughts with regard to fear and faith:

• Fear imprisons — Faith liberates (Romans 6:17-18).

• Fear paralyzes — Faith empowers (Philippians 4:13; Colossians 1:1-13).

• Fear disheartens — Faith encourages (1 Thessalonians 1).

• Fear sickens — Faith heals (James 5:13-15).

• Fear makes us useless — Faith makes us serviceable (2 Timothy 2:15-21).

• Fear puts hopelessness at the heart of life — Faith rejoices in its God (Philippians 4:4; cf. Romans 12:12; 1 Thessalonians 5:16; 1 Peter 4:13).

Because we place our complete trust and faith in the Lord, we may boldly say, “The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me” (Hebrews 13:6 KJV).
